Rolling Stones: Some Girls, Live in TexasThursday night August 16 at 7 PM Lincoln Theater presents a rarely seen concert film featuring the Rolling Stones at the height of their fame. Rolling Stones: Some Girls, Live in Texas was shot in Fort Worth, Texas, as part of the Rolling Stones’ 1978 USA tour. Capturing both the raw talent of the band and the excitement of the audience, the film is a testament to the power of live music and the Rolling Stones as true rock legends.  This updated version has re-mastered audio and carefully restored footage. With this edition, the energy going through that stadium in Texas jumps off the screen, creating an unforgettable cinematic and musical experience. The film also includes an interview with Sir Mick Jagger (filmed in 2011), discussing the band’s impact and providing an inside perspective on this exceptional film.

Camden Opera House August Film SeriesWE HAVE A POPEWednesday August 15 7 pm
Nanni Moretti (THE SON'S ROOM, CARO DIARIO) joins forces with the great French actor Michel Piccoli (CONTEMPT, I'M GOING HOME) to tell the story of Melville, a cardinal who suddenly finds himself elected as the next Pope. Never the front runner and completely caught off guard, he panics as he's presented to the faithful in St. Peter's Square. To prevent a world wide crisis, the Vatican's spokesman calls in an unlikely psychiatrist who is neither religious or all that committed, played by Moretti, to find out what is wrong with the new Pope. As the world nervously waits outside, inside the therapist tries to find a solution. But Cardinal Melville is adamant: he does not want the job, or at least needs time to think it over. What follows is a marvelous insight into the concept of a human being existing behind the title of God's representative on Earth. WE HAVE A POPE is the latest film by Moretti to make wonderful use of humor while dealing with serious issues and continue to showcase his deep humanism.

Built at Blaydes Shipyard in Hull England in 1784 the original Bounty started her sailing career as the collier Bethia. In May of 1787 she was purchased by the Royal Navy and refitted for a special mission. She was armed with 4 canon and 10 swivel guns and renamed HMS Bounty.
